01-04-21 | Cavs v. Magic -5 | Top | 83-103 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Orlando opened the season 4-0 before losing its last two games, both at home against the Sixers and Thunder by blowouts. The last game was an aberration as Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross were a combined 22 of 42 (52.3 percent) from the field against the Thunder, but the rest of the team was 18 of 66 (27.2 percent). The Magic average the fewest turnovers of any team in the league. Cleveland is also 4-2 following its upset win against Atlanta on Saturday. The Cavaliers are No. 1 in the NBA in points in the paint (56.3) and get more of their points from the paint (52.2 percent) than any other team but it is a small sample this early in the season. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after allowing 100 points or more five straight games going up against an opponent after trailing their last three games by five or more points at the half. This situation is 57-26 ATS (68.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (576) Orlando Magic |

01-03-21 | Jazz v. Spurs +4.5 | Top | 130-109 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Utah improved to 3-2 with a win over the Clippers on Friday. The Utah backcourt could not be more Jekyll and Hyde to start the season, with Mike Conley off to a solid start and Donovan Mitchell going in the opposite direction to begin the year. San Antonio has dropped three straight games, including back-to-back defeats at home against the Lakers, after opening the season with a pair of wins. This is a big game for the Spurs as this is the last home game before they embark on a five-game road trip that will see them away from the AT&T Center for a 10-day period. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 when playing their 3rd game in 4 days, playing a team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. This situation is 49-20 ATS (71 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (564) San Antonio Spurs |

01-02-21 | Hornets v. 76ers -9.5 | Top | 112-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Saturday Supreme Annihilator. The Sixers won for the fourth time in five games after beating the Magic 116-92 in their most recent game. Since the game was so out of reach, the Sixers starters rested for the majority of the second half. Philadelphia has one of the best defenses in the NBA as it is ranked No. 3 in points allowed at 99.8 while allowing the lowest field goal percentage at 41.4 percent. This is one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference and this number is warranted. The Hornets have a couple solid wins over Dallas and Brooklyn but are coming off a bad loss against Memphis by 15 points. Charlotte must take better care of the basketball as the Hornets committed 18 turnovers against the Grizzlies and against this defense, that will not work. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a game allowing a shooting percentage of 35 percent or less. This situation is 25-6 ATS (80.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (548) Philadelphia 76ers |

12-31-20 | Kings v. Rockets -5 | Top | 119-122 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Houston is off to a 0-2 start but it was far from full strength. The Rockets traveled with just nine players for road games at Portland and Denver and will welcome back three of the six players who were in quarantine, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Gordon and John Wall. That came after the NBA postponed the team’s originally scheduled season opener on Dec. 23 against Oklahoma City because the Rockets lacked the minimum number of available players required to field a game day roster. The Kings have enjoyed a surprising 3-1 start to the season, including their 125-115 win over Denver on Tuesday. The Kings have been better defensively as they are grabbing 77.3 percent of their defensive rebounds, fourth-best in the NBA, and their defensive rating has improved by 1.8 points per 100 possessions compared to last season. That being said, they will be facing an offense that is back to full strength. Here, we play on teams off a road loss, in the first six games of the season, after closing out last season with four or more straight losses. This situation is 37-17 (68.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (518) Houston Rockets |
|||||||
12-30-20 | Hawks v. Nets -6.5 | Top | 141-145 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Wednesday Star Attraction. The Hawks are off to a 3-0 start but the three wins have come against teams not expected to sniff the postseason and this is now their biggest test of the season. The Nets opened the season by getting big games from Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in nationally televised blowout wins over Golden State and Boston. Brooklyn has followed up those wins with a two-point loss at Charlotte on Sunday followed by a 116-111 overtime loss at home to Memphis on Monday. It needs to be noted that Durant and Irving both did not play against the Grizzlies as they were rested after extensive playing time. Atlanta is 0-9 ATS in its last nine road games after scoring 105 points or more three straight games. Here, we play against road underdogs that had a winning percentage between .250 and .400 from last season after a home game where both teams scored 100 or more points, playing a team that had a losing record last season. This situation is 26-8 ATS (76.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (576) Brooklyn Nets |

12-29-20 | Celtics -1 v. Pacers | Top | 116-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Tuesday Star Attraction. Following a season opening win over Milwaukee, the Celtics have dropped two straight games including a loss at Indiana in their last game which provides some immediate revenge. The two teams met Sunday in the first game of the miniseries in Indianapolis, with the Pacers eking out a 108-107 victory that improved their record to 3-0. The Celtics played better than their 28-point loss against Brooklyn on Christmas and should be highly motivated here and while playing their second straight road game, there is no travel involved. Boston is 14-3 ATS in its last 17 games against teams that are outscoring their opponents by 6 or more ppg over the last two seasons. Here, we play against home underdogs after a win by three points or less going up against an opponent after a loss by six points or less. This situation is 88-42 ATS (67.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (551) Boston Celtics |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Blazers v. Lakers -3.5 | Top | 115-107 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Monday Star Attraction. After suffering an opening season loss, the Lakers have won two straight games by 23 and 36 points. Anthony Davis was injured in the opening-night loss to the Clippers and apparently aggravated it in the Christmas Day blowout of the Mavericks. Lakers coach Frank Vogel seemed optimistic Davis might play Monday. The revamped Lakers lineup is deep which includes Marc Gasol who delivered a solid performance against Minnesota, finishing with 12 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and four of the Lakers 14 blocks. The Blazers start this season started bad as they lost 120-100 at home Wednesday to the Jazz. They also were forced to overcome a slow start to beat the short-handed Houston Rockets 128-126 in overtime Saturday. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a win by three points or less going up against an opponent after scoring 105 points or more in three straight games. This situation is 89-48 ATS (65 percent) since 1996. 10* (550) Los Angeles Lakers |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Bucks -4 v. Celtics | Top | 121-122 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Wednesday Star Attraction. Milwaukee is coming off an historic season even though it fell short in the playoffs. The Bucks upgraded their roster by adding Jrue Holiday to replace Eric Bledsoe and the extension signing of Giannis Antetokounmpo is a big deal as their no pressure this season on where he intends on playing. The 72-game campaign, shortened and delayed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, will see Antetokounmpo and his team try to erase the sting of an earlier-than-expected exit at the NBA bubble last summer. Boston is expected to contend once again but it is a different team than the one from last season. The Celtics experienced one of the biggest losses of the offseason when forward Gordon Hayward was sent to the Hornets as part of a sign-and-trade deal. Hayward though oft-injured, averaged 17.5 ppg last season. Additionally, Kemba Walker is out with a knee injury. This is just the first game of the season but it is a statement game for Milwaukee. 10* (559) Milwaukee Bucks |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Clippers v. Lakers -2.5 | Top | 116-109 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Star Attraction. While the Lakers are coming off the NBA Title, they made a tom of changes to their roster and for the better. They signed Montrezl Harrell to take some space below for Anthony Davis, Wesley Matthews as the Danny Green substitute, traded for Dennis Schroeder as some sort of Rajon Rondo substitute, and will look to increase the minutes of Alex Caruso, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Talen Horton-Tucker to fill in the rest. This roster is obviously loaded again and while a championship hangover is always possible, playing their city rival is enough to get the juices flowing early on. The Clippers were a disappointing early out in the playoffs last season so there is plenty of motivation. They are already shorthanded with Marcus Morris out and Patrick Patterson unlikely to play because of an elbow injury. Expect a big shooting night from the Lakers and the Clippers are 9-22 ATS in their last 31 games when their opponents make between 48 and 51 percent of their shots. 10* (504) Los Angeles Lakers |
|||||||
10-11-20 | Lakers -5 v. Heat | Top | 106-93 | Win | 100 | 30 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Miami was able to avoid elimination with a Game Five win on Friday. The Lakers led by a point with 21.8 seconds left, before two foul shots by Jimmy Butler put the Heat in front. Danny Green missed a late three-pointer to win the game for the Lakers, as the Heat kept the best-of-seven series alive at 3-2. Miami has yet not won consecutive games since mid-September as it is 0-4 in its last four games following a victory while covering just one of those games on a backdoor cover. The Lakers three wins in this series have come by an average of 11.3 ppg so a win likely means a cover based on their dominance when they outplay Miami. The line has come down considerably as it is the lowest it has been in this series since Game One. The Lakers have failed to cover the last four games and that is playing a role in this number. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after successfully covering the spread in three or more consecutive games, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 34-13 ATS (72.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (711) Los Angeles Lakers |

10-06-20 | Lakers -7 v. Heat | Top | 102-96 | Loss | -107 | 27 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Miami got back into the series with a Game Three win on Sunday behind an outstanding performance from Jimmy Butler. He had 40 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, including 10 points in the fourth quarter as the Lakers were making their last run. A big difference also was keeping Anthony Davis in check. In Game Two, the Lakers attempted an NBA Finals-record 47 three-pointers, which was also their season high. But it made life far too easy for Davis, who started going 14 of 15 from the field. All he had to do was sneak behind the zone and he was almost guaranteed easy points. He averaged 15.5 touches in the paint in his first 17 playoff games, but he got only five in Game Three. He also got into foul trouble and as a team Los Angeles committed 19 turnovers. Now it is time for the Lakers to adjust and we are confident they do so to take the commanding 3-1 lead in the series. Miami is 4-14 ATS in its last 18 games off a win by 10 points or more as an underdog while the are 22-7 ATS after having won three of their last four games this season. 10* (707) Los Angeles Lakers |

10-02-20 | Heat +10 v. Lakers | Top | 114-124 | Push | 0 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The big story here is that Heat guard Goran Dragic and big man Bam Adebayo are both listed as doubtful for Game Two of the NBA Finals. While they are key losses if they cannot go, Miami has plenty of depth to make up for it and we are getting an inflated line on top of it. Despite all the setbacks, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and his team have prided themselves on not using excuses throughout the season. That attitude has not changed as the Heat attempt to regroup in the series. Rookie Heat guard Tyler Herro, who has had a breakout postseason individually but had a rough Game One with a team-worst minus-35 in the box score and he will need to play better in the absence of Dragic. Also, Kendrick Nunn, who started for the Heat for most of the regular season before Dragic took over for him in the lineup to begin the playoffs, will have to continue to play well after going 8-11 for 18 points on Wednesday. Forward Jae Crowder will be asked to up his game as well if Adebayo cannot go. Winning will depend on playing harder, better and smarter, something that the Heat have done all postseason long. Miami is 23-8 ATS after one or more consecutive losses this season. 10* (703) Miami Heat |

09-30-20 | Heat +5 v. Lakers | Top | 98-116 | Loss | -108 | 52 h 38 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Miami got through Milwaukee in five games and then Boston in six games and the Heat were underdogs in all but one of those games with the exception being the one game against Milwaukee where Giannis did not play. The Heat will be underdogs in every game of this series, but they have proven they can handle the task with the best top to bottom roster in the NBA. Of the 12 victories in the postseason, seven were by at least seven points so they have not narrowly escaped and are clearly playing great basketball. the Heat have outscored opponents by 4.5 points per 100 possessions in the playoffs, despite facing two of the three teams that finished the regular season ranked top 10 on both offense and defense. This is a tough matchup for the Lakers and even though Los Angeles won both regular season meetings, this is a different Miami rotation now that features three different starters that did not start those games and two of the old starters are not even getting on the court now. Miami is a much better three-point shooting team and as long as they can play to their average, they can steal a few games in this series. Miami is 8-0 when shooting better than 37 percent from long range as a team and 8-1 when making 13 or more threes in a game. The Heat are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games overall while the Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games playing on three or more days rest. 10* (701) Miami Heat |

09-27-20 | Celtics v. Heat +3.5 | Top | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Boston avoided leaving the bubble with a win on Friday thanks to a big second half where the Celtics outscored Miami 70-50. While momentum in now on their side, it is up to Miami to get back to what it had done earlier in the series, win the turnover battle and get off more shot attempts. After the Celtics had averaged 4.7 more turnovers per game in the first four meetings, they had two fewer (13-11) than the Heat in Game Five and also, Miami had averaged 6.0 more shots per game than the Celtics before Friday, when Boston held a 93-86 edge. We can expect a big game from Bam Adebayo who shot under 50 percent for the first time since Game One and was held to a series-low 13 points on Friday, accumulating a minus-15 plus/minus after having been in the positive in each of the first four games. The Celtics are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win while the Heat are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are outscoring their opponents by six or more ppg, after allowing 105 points or more in three straight games. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) since 1996. 10* (718) Miami Heat |

09-26-20 | Nuggets +5 v. Lakers | Top | 107-117 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. The Lakers took Game Four of this series with a six-point win on Thursday and they can close the Western Conference Finals with a win tonight, but Denver will have something to say about that. The Nuggets have been down 3-1 in their two previous series, so they have been here before and have thought nothing about it as they came back to win both of those. Winning another series being down 3-1 is a tall task but Denver has been competitive throughout this series as two losses have been by a combined eight points with one of those coming on a last second buzzer-beater from Anthony Davis. Speaking of Davis, he sprained his ankle and while he is likely going to play, he might not be 100 percent. In Game Four, the Lakers 12 offensive rebounds led to 25 second-chance points, which dwarfed six second-chance points for Denver. Nikola Jokic had an off-game by his lofty standards, finishing with just 16 points and seven rebounds on 6-of-13 shooting and we expect a big game from him Saturday night. He and Paul Millsap were in foul trouble early in Game Four, which ultimately reduced their playing time and ability to find a rhythm later in the game. The Nuggets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss while the Lakers are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. 10* (711) Denver Nuggets |

09-25-20 | Heat v. Celtics -3 | Top | 108-121 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Boston is officially in must win mode now as it trails three games to one in the Eastern Conference Finals after a three-point loss in Game Four. The three losses have come by an average of 3.7 ppg so this series has been closer than the deficit shows. Taking care of the ball has been the big issue for the Celtics as they are averaging 15.8 turnovers per game in the Conference Finals compared to the Heat's 10.5 turnovers per game. They lost the turnover battle 19-8 in Game Four yet were still in it so that is a huge factor tonight. They also need to get Jayson Tatum involved early as he could not get anything to fall in the first half of Game Four, heading into halftime with zero points on 0-for-6 shooting from the field and 0-for-4 from three-point range. Miami got a huge game from Tyler Herro who scored 37 points to save the game for Miami and we do not expect anything like that again. The Celtics have had eight winning streaks of three or more games this season, including the playoffs. Winning a few games in a row is more than doable for a third-seed and it starts tonight. The Celtics are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS loss. 10* (716) Boston Celtics |

09-24-20 | Lakers -6 v. Nuggets | Top | 114-108 | Push | 0 | 30 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Game of the Year. Denver won Game Three as it withstood a late Lakers run to get back into the series. After an easy series opening win, Los Angeles has not looked nearly as good and could very well be down 2-1 if not for the Anthony Davis buzzer-beater in Game Two. The Nuggets outrebounded the Lakers (35-21) because of hustle. And the Lakers committed 16 turnovers and 21 fouls because of sloppiness. They were able to cut the lead to three points, but the Lakers made only one out of seven shots in the final 6:07. Now it is time for the best team in the league with the best player to step up. LeBron James did have a triple-double but his play down the stretch was erratic as he had a team high six turnovers. Just like the Jazz and Clippers before them, the Lakers played against the Nuggets as if they would coast to a win. As the Jazz and the Clippers already experienced, the Lakers were then proven wrong. The Lakers are 20-7 ATS after having won three of their last four games this season while the Nuggets are 4-13 ATS after successfully covering the spread in two or more consecutive games this season. 10* (709) Los Angeles Lakers |

09-23-20 | Celtics v. Heat +3.5 | Top | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Boston bounced back from losing the first two games of this series with a resounding 117-106 win that was not as close as that score indicates as the Celtics led by as many as 20 points and Miami never had the lead. The problem here is that Game Three was on Saturday and with three days off, any momentum gain has been lost with the time off. The Heat are insisting that there will be more urgency at the beginning as first quarters have been their problem. In the 36 minutes of first-period action against the Celtics, the Heat have led roughly one-sixth of the time. Boston has won the first quarters by a combined score of 88-68, shooting 54% percent to 32 percent for Miami. From the start, we have said that top to bottom, Miami has the best roster in the NBA and that will make a difference in a rebound win. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 outscoring their opponents by six or more ppg, after allowing 105 points or more in three straight games. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) since 1996. 10* (714) Miami Heat |

09-22-20 | Lakers -6.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 106-114 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. The Lakers stole Game Two away from Denver as Anthony Davis hit a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer to give Los Angeles a 2-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals. While Denver could have won the game, two things took away an even better chance as the Nuggets hit just 3 of their 13 attempts from three in second half and missed eight free throws on the night. That was a huge, missed opportunity and the Lakers, as we have seen in this postseason, take advantage of these situations of busting out after a close game or a loss. Here, we play against underdogs off a cover where the team lost the game straight up as an underdog, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 70-21 ATS (76.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (707) Los Angeles Lakers |

09-20-20 | Nuggets +7.5 v. Lakers | Top | 103-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our Sunday Enforcer. The Lakers took Game One of this series on Friday as they pulled away in the second half. Denver took a two-point lead after the first quarter, its biggest lead of the game, but the Lakers outscored the Nuggets 67-41 over the next two quarters and cruised from there. In the second quarter alone, Los Angeles attempted 24 free throws as the Nuggets top players got into foul trouble, so it was not an even matchup for a good portion as Nikola Jokic played just three minutes in that quarter. For Denver to have a chance to even up the series after committing 16 turnovers in Game One, valuing each possession and being able to have more control over the pace of the game will be key. If this postseason has taught us anything about the resiliency of the Nuggets young core, it is that one game does not make a series. Denver has covered four of its last five games following a loss. 10* (705) Denver Nuggets |

09-18-20 | Nuggets +7 v. Lakers | Top | 114-126 | Loss | -107 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Friday Star Attraction. The Lakers have lost the first game of each of their last two series and it would not be a total surprise if it happens again here. They are on a long layoff of six days and while rest is always good, too much can be a detriment, especially in this shortened season. Denver is riding some crazy momentum right now as it is coming another series win after trailing 3-1. The most recent was a shocking performance against the Clippers where the Nuggets overcame double-digit second half deficits in Game Five and Six and then winning Game Seven by pulling away late in the second half. The Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 while the Rockets are 10-2 ATS when playing with double revenge this season. 10* (733) Denver Nuggets |

09-17-20 | Heat v. Celtics -2 | Top | 106-101 | Loss | -115 | 32 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Miami overcame a 14-point deficit by outscoring Boston 35-23 in the fourth quarter and eventually won in overtime to take the opener of the Eastern Conference Finals. One favorable takeaway is that Boston outscored Miami 28-16 in the third quarter and held the Heat to their lowest scoring total for a quarter in the playoffs. This is noteworthy because Boston lost every third quarter to the Raptors in the East semifinals. Kemba Walker will be the key for Game Two. He has been extremely inconsistent on offense and while he has played some solid defense in the playoffs, he was bad on Tuesday as NBA tracking had him giving up 22 points on 9-18 shooting. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 allowing 103 or more ppg on the season, after a win by 3 points or less. This situation is 143-89 (61.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (702) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Give a lot of credit to Denver which is now 5-0 in elimination games so far this season. Win Tuesday, and they will become the first team in NBA history to successfully erase a pair of 3-1 deficits in the same season, but their time Is done. Los Angeles does not have history on its side but that is no worry with arguably the best roster in the NBA. The Clippers have never been to the conference finals and they have had seven chances to get there in their franchise history, going 0-7 in those games. This series should already b over, but the Nuggets went on a 17-0 run midway in the third quarter in Game Six to stave off elimination. Here, we play on favorites revenging a straight up loss as a favorite of 7or more against opponent off 2 or more consecutive upset wins as an underdog. This situation is 49-21 ATS (70 percent) since 1996. 10* (730) Los Angeles Clippers |

09-12-20 | Rockets v. Lakers -6.5 | Top | 96-119 | Win | 100 | 27 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. We totally read the Lakers wrong and how they are approaching this series. The Rockets version of small ball worked for Game One and then the Lakers made adjustments and have dominated since. Los Angeles outrebounded Houston 52-26 including 12-1 on the offensive end and teams cannot overcome a deficit like that. The Rockets can get hot from long range but that cannot be counted on based on the defense the Lakers have thrown at them, especially when James Harden only was able to attempt six three-pointers in Game Four. The thing is the Lakers can't play small ball. The only guy in their rotation who is under 6'5" is Rajon Rondo so the length and wingspan is simply too much. The Rockets are 1-5 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record while the Lakers are 6-0 ATS in their last six games playing on one day of rest. 10* (724) Los Angeles Lakers |

09-11-20 | Celtics -2.5 v. Raptors | Top | 92-87 | Win | 100 | 27 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. We lost a tough one on the Celtics in double overtime in Game Six and now it is all on the line. This series should already be over if not for a miracle win in Game Three by the Raptors. The Celtics responded with a Game Five win that was never in doubt as they led by as many as 30 points while Toronto never led the game. While all three Toronto wins have come down to the end of the game, Boston owns two blowout wins and another showing from Kemba Walker in Game Six where he totaled just five points on 2-11 shooting is not going to happen again. Also, we are not going to see Kyle Lowry shoot 60 percent from long range again. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 allowing 103 or more ppg on the season, after a close win by three points or less. This situation is 142-89 ATS (61.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (717) Boston Celtics |

09-10-20 | Lakers v. Rockets +5 | Top | 110-100 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. After taking four in a row off of Portland, the Lakers have now beaten Houston in both Games Two and Three to take a 2-1 series lead over the Rockets. Houston needs to make adjustments to get more production from other players. In Game Three Russell Westbrook gave the Rockets 30 points on 13-of-24 shooting while James Harden chipped in 33 points, but the role players put up only 39 points beyond them. Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said fatigue undermined the Rockets late-game performance where the fourth quarter did them in for a second straight game, but the Lakers deserve full credit for harassing the Rockets into miscues and errant shot attempts. Houston is capable of squaring up this series but even a close game either way gets us the cover here. The Rockets are i15-4 ATS in their last 19 games when playing with double revenge while the Lakers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. 10* (716) Houston Rockets |

09-09-20 | Raptors v. Celtics -3.5 | Top | 125-122 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. This series should already be over as Boston had a 3-0 series lead wrapped up with less than a second left before Toronto hit a miracle shot in Game three and carried that into Game Four. The Celtics responded with a Game Five win that was never in doubt as they led by as many as 30 points while Toronto never led the game. This has been a horrible matchup for the Raptors as the Celtics defense has been stifling with no Toronto player able to step up and take over a game while Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown are all averaging over 19 ppg in the postseason with all three able to take over a game. The Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last seven Conference Semifinals games while the Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. 10* (710) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. The Lakers lost Game One of this series but bounced back in Game Two and we expect the momentum to continue forward. Efficient shooting was the key. The Lakers took 38 three-pointers in Game One. In Game Two, their shot composition changed a lot even though they took 83 shots, the exact same number as Game One, they took just 27 three-pointers, half as many as the Rockets attempted. They shot 62.5 percent inside the arc, an improvement from 53.3 percent the game before. The Lakers will have to depend on the Rajon Rondo they saw in Game Two to make good, quick decisions as opposed to some of the rash ones he made in Game One. A 9-to-1 assist to turnover ratio is a major improvement from 4-to-4. 10* (707) Los Angeles Lakers |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Houston had a plan for Game One and it worked to perfection. The Rockets made the bet that post-ups and mid-range jumpers are so inherently inefficient that no amount of them can overcome the math advantage that comes with winning the three-point and turnover battles. It is up to the Lakers to be more efficient with the ball and for LeBron James to step up after a pretty average opener. For the second time, the Lakers had six days off going into a Game 1 while their opponent had played just two days before. And both times, against the Trail Blazers and then the Rockets, they looked like the slower, less-prepared team. They bounced back in Game Two against Portland and we anticipate the same here. The Rockets are 1-4 ATS in their last five games playing on 1 day of rest while the Lakers are 16-7 ATS after having won 3 of their last 4 games this season. 10* (748) Los Angeles Lakers |

This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Enforcer. Toronto recorded a miraculous victory in Game Three to avoid a 3-0 deficit in this series and it has gained the momentum which carries into Game Four. Toronto has caught a second wind and is going to come out in Game Four aiming to prove they are the defending champions for a reason. The Celtics struggled against the zone and they have had trouble against zones for much of the season. Sometimes, they have been able to figure it out and go on runs, but Toronto mixes up their zone coverages well enough to keep the Celtics off balance. Additionally, the Celtics only scored two fast-break points in Game Three. The Raptors are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games following a ATS loss. Here, we play against underdogs off a cover where the team lost the game straight up as an underdog, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 69-21 ATS (76.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (741) Toronto Raptors |

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Friday Supreme Annihilator. The Bucks have dug themselves into a hole after dropping the first two games of this series. Milwaukee was uncharacteristically outscored 42-24 in the paint in the series opener but looked like themselves again Wednesday, dominating the Heat by a score of 52-32 inside. The problem was long range shooting as Miami attempted 20 more three-pointers than the Bucks and made 10 more, outshooting Milwaukee by a 37.8 percent to 28 percent clip from deep. Do not expect that to happen again. The Bucks shot better from the free throw in Game Two compared to the opener and that has to stay the same into Game Three. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after beating the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games going up against an opponent after being beaten by the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games. This situation is 49-19 ATS (72.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (737) Milwaukee Bucks |

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. We won with Miami on Monday with two key factors coming into play. As mentioned, the Heat have one of the best top to bottom rosters in the NBA and taking the top two players out from each team, Jimmy Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Miami has the better roster. Also, the Heat were the only Eastern Conference team to win a season series with the Bucks this year. That being said, we expect the Bucks to come out strong in Game Two just like they did in Game Two of their first round series against Orlando after losing Game One. This already has the feel of a back-and-forth series with the best team in the conference going up against a team that matches up very well with them. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after successfully covering the spread in 3 or more consecutive games, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 32-11 ATS (74.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (730) Milwaukee Bucks |

This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. After running through Orlando in a first round sweep, Toronto got hammered by Boston in Game One as it trailed by as many as 24 points and never led in the game. The Raptors shot just 37 percent from the floor including 25 percent on 10-40 shooting from long range. The Raptors are now 11-2 in regular-season and postseason games played at Disney World, with both losses coming against the Celtics. Toronto trailed the Celtics by 40 on the way to a 122-100 loss on August 7th. We just do not see an effort from either side in Game Two with Toronto evening up the series. Here, we play against underdogs after beating the spread by 18 or more points total in their last three games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 198-130 ATS (60.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (724) Toronto Raptors |

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Bucks came into the playoffs as the top seed in the Eastern Conference but were the only team not to sweep their opening round series although it did take them just five games after dropping the opener. Things now start to get tougher. Miami is coming off a sweep of Indiana where it covered all four games in which it won by at least nine points. The Heat have one of the best top to bottom rosters in the NBA and taking the top two players out from each team, Jimmy Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Miami has the better roster. The Heat were the only Eastern Conference team to win a season series with the Bucks this year. Butler missed the lone loss which was played in the bubble. The Heat are 38-18 ATS in their last 56 games playing on 3 or more days rest while the Bucks are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win. 10* (719) Miami Heat |

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Denver was able to stay alive and force a Game Six as it defeated Utah 117-107 thanks to some late clutch success. Jamal Murray went off late, draining four straight shots at one point deep in the fourth quarter to turn a 101-all tie into a 110-101 lead with 1:20 to play. The Jazz had a 15-point lead in the third quarter but were unable to hold on as they seemed to let off the gas which was a bad move obviously and they made numerous mistakes on both ends of the floor to lose Game Five. The Jazz thought they had already won the series and acted like it and now they will need to win it for real which we expect in Game Six. Denver is 4-17 ATS in its last 21 games away from home after a win by 10 points or more. 10* (714) Utah Jazz |

This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. After opening the series with a pair of blowout wins, the Rockets have lost the last two games in tough fashion, one in overtime and the other after blowing a 15-point lead. The Thunder are 32-15 in clutch games, including the playoffs (5-point game within the final five minutes) and had to rally back into the contest once again. James Harden finished with 32 points, 15 assists, and eight rebounds, but managed just 13 points in the second half, under immense defensive pressure from Thunder wing Lu Dort. It will be up to Harden to take over the game late and we see that happening in Game Five. The Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win while Houston is 14-4 ATS in its last 18 games when playing with double revenge. 10* (704) Houston Rockets |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Dallas was able to even up this series with an overtime win over the Clippers on a last second three-pointer from Luka Doncic. The Mavericks were down by as many as 21 points before overtime as the Clippers completely melted down with a chance to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. They did have a big fourth quarter to force overtime and while momentum is on the Dallas side, Los Angeles is the better team top to bottom and will bounce back with a big win here. The Clippers are 15-4 ATS in their last 19 games revenging a straight up loss as a favorite while the Mavericks are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. Here, we play against underdogs in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams averaging 82 or more spg, after three straight games making 50 percent or more of their shots. This situation is 28-9 ATS (75.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (716) Los Angeles Clippers |

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. After dropping the opener of this series in overtime, Utah has taken control of this series with blowout wins the last two games. Denver is down two starters s Will Barton and Gary Harris are out with injuries and it has taken its toll. In three games against Denver, the Jazz are averaging 18 made three-pointers per game and have shot 45 percent or better from behind the arc in both victories. The Nuggets are a mess on defense and have struggled to find a consistent rhythm on offense. The Nuggets are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog while the Jazz are 20-9-1 ATS in their last 30 games following a straight up win. Here, we play on favorites off a win by 10 points or more over a division rival, playing their 3rd road game in 5 days. This situation is 31-10 ATS (75.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (748) Utah Jazz |

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Houston has taken a 2-0 series lead over Oklahoma City following a 111-98 win on Thursday. The Rockets finished 19-of-56 from deep to set the record for most three-pointers attempted in a playoff game and they did so without Russell Westbrook. The Thunder now have their backs against the wall, but if they can take anything away from Game Two, it is that they are onto something with Lu Dort who did an outstanding job defensively against James Harden. The problem was the offense as the Thunder scored just 19 points in the third quarter and 20 in the fourth quarter. The Rockets went on a 14-0 run in the fourth quarter without Harden on the floor. Oklahoma City is 25-13 ATS as an underdog this season while the Thunder are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 10* (736) Oklahoma City Thunder |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Dallas is coming off a Game Two win over the Clippers to even the series at one game apiece in what was a must win game. The Mavericks jumped to an early 15-2 lead and never looked back as the Clippers never led and Dallas led by as many as 18 points during the win. Kawhi Leonard scored a game-high 35 points in the loss but Paul George struggled with just four made shots on 17 attempts and a total of 14 points and George needs to compliment Leonard for the Clippers to perform at their standards. While Luka Doncic was dominant, the Mavericks bench stepped up as Seth Curry, Trey Burke, Boban Marjanovic and Delon Wright combined for 47 huge points. Time for Los Angeles to respond. The Clippers are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points while the Mavericks are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. 10* (727) Los Angeles Clippers |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Blazers stunned Los Angeles in Game One of this series on Tuesday and the Lakers can ill afford to fall down 2-0 in this series against one of the hottest teams since the restart. LeBron James and Anthony Davis combined to go just 17-44 (38.6 percent) from the floor including 1-10 from long range. The Lakers did not look like he team that tore through the league during the regular season and we can chalk up Tuesday as an anomaly. They are not going to routinely convert just 4 of 17 second-chance opportunities are they are not usually going to miss more than half of their shots within 9 feet of the hoop. Do not expect this again as in the seeding games, the Blazers ranked 20th (out of 22) in defensive rating with 120.4, nearly seven points worse per 100 possessions than its regular-season defensive rating of 113.6 that itself ranked 27th. 10* (718) Los Angeles Lakers |

This is a play on the BROOKYN NETS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. This is a great situational play for Brooklyn which lost by 24 points in the opener of this series. The Nets are down a bunch of players but that was not the issue as the Raptors outshot them 33-16 at the free throw line and outscored them by 21 points at the stripe. Toronto also went 22-44 from long range and it cannot keep that pace up. Toronto has won four of the five meetings, but they would have covered four of those if this was the number in those games. Brooklyn is 13-2 ATS in its last 15 games away from home outscoring their opponents by six or more ppg. Here, we play on underdogs of 10 or more points revenging a loss away from home of 10 points or more, playing only their 2nd game in five days. This situation is 140-81 ATS (63.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (701) Brooklyn Nets |

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Miami and Indiana square off for the third time in four games and the Heat have the matchup and intangible edges in this series and the Heat should exploit those on Tuesday to take the opener. In a normal season, the Pacers homecourt advantage, as the No. 4 seed, would be a factor, with Indiana known to have somewhat overly passionate fans. While the top three players on each team cancel each other out, the clear difference in the rosters is players 4 through 10. Miami has the edge with depth and arguably has the best top ten roster in the league. Expect the Heat to key on T.J. Warren, who has been the Pacers go-to option in the bubble with All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis absent due to plantar fasciitis. 10* (769) Miami Heat |

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Philadelphia has struggled recently as it has dropped three straight games before closing the season with a meaningless rout of Houston. The Sixers are down a star as Ben Simmons is out with a knee injury and that is obviously a huge loss as they were a contender before that. Without him, the Philadelphia defense could crumble against the Celtics collection of All-Star caliber perimeter players. Boston needs to dominate the wing battle and what we have seen thus far since the restart, it should do just that. In the bubble, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have looked fantastic as they have averaged more than 22 ppg and have locked in their long-range shooting while hurting opponents off the dribble. 10* (756) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. The playoffs are finally here where every game is starting to count, and we begin Saturday with the No. 8 vs. No. 9 play-in game. The young Grizzlies carry a massive experience deficit into the play-in round against a battle-tested and veteran-led Blazers team. The Blazers are looking deep with Jusuf Nurkic back and Gary Trent Jr. suddenly an impact scorer. Damian Lillard has gotten all of the attention but CJ McCollum's production in Orlando has been overshadowed and underrated as he has averaged 20.1 ppg, 5.4 rpg and 5.3 apg. As for the Grizzlies, the loss of Jaren Jackson Jr. has emaciated their already poor shooting ranks. 10* (724) Portland Trail Blazers |

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Motivation will be a key roll going forward until playoff time and this game features two teams on opposite ends. With a victory, Memphis can clinch a spot in the best-of-two play-in series for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. It has been a tough restart for Memphis which is 1-5 but the Grizzlies now know what is on the line. Boston is locked into the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference so there is nothing to play for so after six games in the eight-game seeding season, starters will be seeing limited minutes. The Celtics have won three straight games including an overtime win over Orlando on Sunday where starters played significant minutes which adds to the possibility of limited minutes today. 10* (756) Memphis Grizzlies |

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Boston is coming off a 34-point win over the Nets on Wednesday and with a win here, the Celtics would bring them within 3.5 games of the second place Raptors in the Eastern Conference. Boston is 2-2 since the restart so it has not been overly impressive, but it still has one of the best rosters in the league and can make a big run. According to Boston head coach Brad Stevens, the playing minutes for Kemba Walker will incrementally increase again Friday as he has been limited with a knee injury. The Raptors have been on fire since the restart and have been shutting down their competition. They have won all three of their games since the restart and have one seven straight games going back before the season was shut down. 10* (711) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Both Indiana and Phoenix have started a perfect 3-0 since the restart and we will be backing the more balanced Pacers in this game. Indiana has a one game lead over Philadelphia, which has won two straight games, for the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference. At this point, Indiana will be playing Miami in the first round and it wants to avoid falling behind the Sixers which would mean a first round series with the Celtics. After ripping off three straight wins and coupled with a slow start for No. 8-seed Memphis, the Suns have kept their hopes of an unlikely playoff berth alive. They remain a game and a half behind Portland for the No. 9 seed and a play in game, but they have to surpass three teams to get into that spot. 10* (779) Indiana Pacers |

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Despite being down three starters, the Nuggets were able to defeat Oklahoma City by eight points in overtime on Monday. They will again be not at full strength with Will Barton and Gary Harris both being out and Jamal Murry being a question mark with a hamstring injury. Denver is a game behind the Clippers for second place in the Western Conference so it still has something to play for but there is more on the line for San Antonio. The Spurs are coming off a tough two-point loss to the Sixers on Monday following a pair of wins following the restart. San Antonio is two games out of the eighth spot in the Western Conference with Portland sitting a half-game in front of them. The Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as an underdog while the Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win. 10* (768) San Antonio Spurs |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Portland is 1-1 since the restart having defeated Memphis and losing to Boston by four points last time out. This is a must win game for the Blazers which sit two games behind the Grizzlies for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. This is a good matchup as they have won the last two meetings, one home and one away, by 10 and 13 points respectively. Houston is 2-0 since returning to action, winning both games by four points, and the Rockets have moved into fourth place in the conference thanks to a pair of Utah losses. That being said, they are overpriced in this spot against a team with a lot more on the line fighting with five other teams to grab that last postseason spot. 10* (762) Portland Trail Blazers |

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Dallas is coming off a tough loss to Houston in overtime in its first game since the stoppage and the Mavericks are now 2.5 games behind the Rockets for sixth place in the Western Conference. The Mavericks scored just 20 points in the fourth quarter against the Rockets and have a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a win here or a loss by Memphis. Phoenix is now five games behind Memphis for the final playoff spot following a blowout win over Washington to open the seeding schedule. Phoenix is a longshot to get to a playoff or play-in series as the last team from the Western Conference. Dallas will not only be out to capture a playoff spot but also to avenge a loss at home to the Suns by 29 points earlier in the season. 10* (737) Dallas Mavericks |

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Philadelphia and Indiana are tied for fifth place in the Eastern Conference and while there is no homecourt advantage on the line because of the bubble, playing for playoff matchups is key. The Sixers were the best home team in the league prior to the shutdown with a 29-2 record but they won just 10 games away from home. Conversely, Indiana was 18-15 away from home which shows they are the better team to play on a neutral floor at this point. Victor Oladipo could play tonight after initially stating he was not going to return for the rest of the season and that will be a big boost for the Pacers which covered all three meetings this season. 10* (724) Indiana Pacers |

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. We are getting some great value on Boston here as the Celtics look to chase down Toronto for the second spot in the Eastern Conference. With eight games on the schedule, Boston is three games behind the Raptors but more importantly, the Bucks have pretty much locked up the top spot in the conference so there is a sense that they will be going out to stay fresh meaning limiting starters playing time until the playoffs begin. 10* (711) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Memphis has won four of its last five games to get back to .500 on the season and is four games clear of ninth place in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a losing road record. Orlando posted its seventh win in 11 games on Sunday with a 126-106 victory at Houston. The Magic are averaging 120.8 ppg during the 11-game stretch and have reached at least 120 points on five occasions in that run. That being said, the Grizzlies are an above average defense in terms of efficiency. Memphis is out for revenge as well as it lost the first meeting in Orlando by 32 points, its worst loss of the season. Here, we play on home favorites revenging a road loss of 10 points or more, off a home win by 10 points or more.

03-09-20 | Hornets v. Hawks -4 | Top | 138-143 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Hawks are out of contention for the playoffs as they have lost three straight games but are 13-19 at home and have won eight of their last 11 games at State Farm Arena. Atlanta has three winnable games this week with all of those coming at home. The Hawks hope to have Trae Young back to full strength for the game. The team's leading scorer at 29.4 ppg did not play in Friday's loss to Washington because of flu-like symptoms and was not at full strength when he tried to go on Saturday and managed only 16 points against Memphis. The Hornets still cling to hopes of making the playoffs but are six games behind Orlando for eighth place in the NBA Eastern Conference. They are coming off an upset win over Houston on Saturday which snapped a three-game losing streak. Charlotte is just 12-20 on the road. Atlanta is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 home games after trailing in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half. 10* (524) Atlanta Hawks |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Portland has won two straight games to keep pace with Memphis in the Western Conference playoff race as the Blazers remain 3.5 games behind the Grizzlies for the eighth and final playoff spot. Portland is 17-13 at home which is nothing spectacular but it has won nine of last 12 home games and it needs to protect home court especially in games like this. The return of Damian Lillard is big for the stretch run after he missed five games with groin injury. In three meetings with the Kings this season, Lillard has averaged 28.7 ppg and 6.7 apg. Sacramento had a three-game winning streak as well as a 6-1 run snapped with a bad 17-point home loss to the injury riddled Sixers. The Kings are still in the playoff hunt as they trial the Blazers by just a half-game but they have struggled on the road with a 13-19 record. 10* (574) Portland Trail Blazers |

This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Orlando has lost three straight games to fall to 27-35 on the season and has slipped back into eighth place in the Eastern Conference, one game behind Brooklyn. While the Magic are in very little danger of missing the playoffs, they need to start playing better to try and avoid a first round matchup with Milwaukee. While Orlando is just 11-20 on the road this season, it is 12-4 ATS in road games against teams allowing 110 or more ppg this season. Minnesota has won consecutive games for just the second time in 2020 and just the fourth time this season since starting 4-0. Clearly it is has been a horrible season as injuries have been their downfall and their two best players to start the season are out with Andrew Wiggins having been traded and Karl-Anthony Towns out with a wrist injury. The Timberwolves are just 8-22 at home and here, we play on road favorites after a loss by three points or less going up against an opponent after scoring 105 points or more. This situation is 106-61 ATS (63.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (553) Orlando Magic |

03-05-20 | Clippers v. Rockets -1 | Top | 120-105 | Loss | -103 | 27 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. Losing to the Knicks was a bad loss for the Rockets but their previous accomplishments cannot be ignored. Houston has picked up wins against the Lakers, Celtics (twice) and Jazz. The Rockets have featured a dangerous offense now that they spread the floor better than any team in the NBA. The difference has been Russell Westbrook who has never had an extended stretch so efficient and prolific as the tear he has been on for the past two months. Westbrook has averaged 32.9 ppg on 53.3 percent shooting, as well as 7.8 rpg and 7.3 apg during that span. The Rockets are back home where they are 21-8 on the season and they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games playing on two days of rest. The Clippers will seek to extend their winning streak to six games following a big win at Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Los Angeles is just four games over .500 on the road and the Clippers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog. 10* (538) Houston Rockets |

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Jazz embarked upon a four-game Eastern Conference roadtrip by beating the Cavaliers 126-113 on Sunday for their second straight win following a four-game losing streak. Defense remains a concern as Utah has allowed at least 113 points in six straight games and nine of the last 10 overall but New York is averaging just 105.8 ppg at home. The Jazz are 16-4-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win. The Knicks raced out to a 21-point, second-quarter lead and staved off a furious rally by the Rockets to hang on for a 125-123 upset win on Sunday for their second straight victory. The win over the Rockets was just the eighth this season for the Knicks over a team currently occupying a playoff spot. New York is just 10-20 at home and despite the win over Houston, the Knicks are 6-16 ATS in their last 22 home games against teams with a winning road record. Here, we play against home underdogs revenging a loss of 20 points or more, off a home win by three points or less. This situation is 37-11 ATS (77.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (523) Utah Jazz |

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. The Thunder are coming off a 133-86 blowout loss in Milwaukee on Friday, one of the most lopsided games in the NBA this season and the worst loss in franchise history. That snapped a five-game winning streak for Oklahoma City as it is now in sixth place in the Western Conference, one game behind Utah and one game ahead of Dallas. The Thunder are 20-12 at home and they are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Los Angeles comes into Tuesday's game having won four consecutive games since adding starter Marcus Morris and backup guard Reggie Jackson into the rotation. The Clippers are tied with Denver for second place in the Western Conference, 5.5 games behind the top-seeded Lakers. While they are 25-6 at home, they are just 16-13 on the road and the Clippers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Here, we play on home teams playing with three or more days rest, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 134-84 ATS (61.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (506) Oklahoma City Thunder |

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Dallas is coming off a win last night in Minnesota to push its record to 3-1 on this current five-game roadtrip that ends in Chicago tonight. The Mavericks are now 21-10 on the road and they possess five more road wins than home wins and that is the biggest differential in the NBA. They are still stuck in seventh place in the Western Conference but they are just one game out of fifth place and three games out of fourth place. The Mavericks are 14-3 SU/ATS as road favorites. Chicago enters the game after its 125-115 loss on the road against the Knicks on Saturday. It was the 10th loss in 11 games for Chicago, which has twice as many losses (40) as wins (20) this season. The Bulls are just 12-19 at home and have defeated a team at home with a winning record since December 14th when they defeated the Clippers 109-106 in a game Kawhi Leonard did not play. The Bulls are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games as a home underdog. 10* (587) Dallas Mavericks |

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Orlando rolled over Minnesota last night for its third straight win but finds itself in a tough spot here. The travel aspect has to be taken into consideration as the Magic played in Brooklyn Monday, Atlanta Wednesday, home last night and now have to go all the way to San Antonio in a back-to-back. Orlando is just 1-8 straight up and 2-5-1 ATS playing with no rest which includes 0-2 SU/ATS when hitting the road after a home game, losing those games by an average of 16.5 ppg. San Antonio will look to get back on track after a 109-103 loss at home to Dallas on Wednesday that kept the Spurs three games behind Memphis for the final Western Conference playoff spot. It has been a down season for sure but there is time left for a push and the Spurs could not ask for a better spot tonight. Here, we play on home favorites after failing to cover five or six of their last seven games against the spread going up against an opponent after having covered four or five of their last six games against the spread. This situation is 119-73 ATS (62 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (560) San Antonio Spurs |

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Friday Enforcer. This line came out late due to the questionable status of De'Aaron Fox who missed the game last night against Oklahoma City. The Kings had a three-game losing streak snapped with that loss but they still have covered four straight games. Sacramento is now 12-19 on the road and this is a tough spot playing with no rest where it has gone 1-2 this season in the second of a road back-to-back. This is a big game for Memphis which needs to get back on track following four straight losses. All of those were on the road however with the last three coming against the top three teams in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a home favorite. Here, we play against teams after leading their last three games by five or more points at the half going up against an opponent after trailing their last three games by five or more points at the half.

The Blazers are 2.5 games behind Memphis for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with an upcoming schedule that is doable as they wait for the return of Damian Lillard. They have played the second toughest schedule in the NBA thus far and going back, the Blazers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning straight up record. Indiana is coming off a 39-point win over Charlotte on Tuesday to make it three wins over its last four games.

They have been an average road team but going back, the Clippers are 27-13 ATS in their last 40 games as a road favorite. Phoenix is coming off a pair of road wins against Chicago and Utah to move to 24-34 on the season and are now 4.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The problem is that they have to pass five teams and that just will not happen. Phoenix is 2-15 ATS in its last 17 home games after scoring 120 points or more. Here, we play against home teams revenging a road loss of 20 points or more going up against an opponent after a cover as a double digit favorite.

The Lakers are 20-7 at home but they are just 14-12-1 ATS as they have been overpriced numerous times and that is the case again here. The Lakers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games playing on one day of rest.

This is the final road game for San Antonio on this rodeo roadtrip that consisted of eight games wrapped around the All Star Break as the Spurs have played just one home game this month and that was on February 1st. They are coming off an impressive win at Utah on Friday which was just their first game since the break and the win prior to that came at Oklahoma City which puts immediate revenge in play for the Thunder.

This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Brooklyn is coming off a loss at Philadelphia in overtime on Thursday as it blew a 20-point lead and managed just one point in overtime. The Nets are sitting in seventh place in the Eastern Conference but they are closer to ninth place than sixth place so these winnable games have to be taken. The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Charlotte has won three straight games, all on the road, which matches its longest winning streak of the season. The Hornets had lost 13 of 14 prior to this and they are just 1-8 over their last nine home games, the lone win coming against 17-38 New York.

Those games were both on the road however where the Blazers have lost four straight games but they head back home where they have won five in a row. Portland is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games revenging a road loss of 20 points or more. New Orleans comes in as an overpriced favorite as the Zion effect is clearly present. Based on recent power rankings, New Orleans is roughly a half-point better but that is not taking home court into consideration and the Pelicans should not even be favored here, let along by this amount. The Pelicans are 3-7-2 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play on teams revenging a road loss of 10 points or more, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .400 and .499.

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Trading Andrew Wiggins seemed to have invigorated Minnesota as it destroyed the Clippers 142-115 on Saturday at home which snapped a 12-game losing streak. D'Angelo Russell did not play in that game but he had a successful debut on Monday as he scored 22 points with five assists although he did commit six turnovers in the 137-126 loss to Toronto in a game they actually led at halftime. The Timberwolves head back home and take a big stepdown in class. Charlotte is coming off a win at Detroit on Monday as it held the Pistons to just 76 points.

Despite the loss last night, Dallas is still 17-8 on the road which is the fourth best road record in the NBA and going back, the Mavericks are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite.

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Friday Star Attraction. Indiana fell to 18-7 at home with a 119-118 loss to Toronto on Wednesday as it was outscored 11-0 to end the game and suffered its third straight loss. This came after a historic shooting night for the Pacers, whose 19 three-pointers were the most in franchise history. The Pacers are now tied for fifth place in the Eastern Conference and this is a big stretch with the next four games all against playoff contenders but all are at home. The Pacers have also now lost 12 straight regular season games in Toronto so this is the ultimate revenge game. The Raptors have won 12 straight games which is the most in franchise history and while they have won seven on the road during this stretch, the only one against a winning team was at Oklahoma City. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 allowing 103 or more ppg on the season, after a win by three points or less.

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. Philadelphia has lost the first three games on this current four-game roadtrip to fall to 9-18 on the road and that is being factored into this huge line. The Sixers have failed to cover their last four games but we should see an inspired effort here. Ben Simmons called his team out after the Miami loss and while some will think it will cause tension, it should inspire this team to snap out of their funk. They have dropped to sixth place in the Eastern Conference and while they remain one of the most inconsistent teams, they can upset almost any team on their day. While upsetting Milwaukee will be a challenge, we just need a close game. The Bucks have won two straight games after a loss to Denver at home and are clearly the best team in the Eastern Conference. We are not playing the team but the number and in this case, we are catching a value number. 10* (505) Philadelphia 76ers |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Clippers conclude a four-game homestand following a pair of wins over Minnesota and San Antonio which came after an inexcusable loss to the Kings to open it. They are 21-5 at home on the season and following an overall 8-2 run, Los Angeles is now three games behind the Lakers for the top spot in the Western Conference. The most recent win over the Spurs was by just three points and the Clippers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS loss. Miami is also on a two-game winning streak, the most recent one being a 31-point win at home over the Sixers to improve to 22-3 at home. It was a big game for Jimmy Butler who hung 38 points on his former team so there is definitely that letdown possibility. The Heat are just 12-12 on the road and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win. 10* (588) Los Angeles Clippers |

Denver has won 11 of 15 games this season following a loss and the Nuggets are 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Portland has won four straight games to move to within a game and a half of the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference. Three of those wins came at home and while the one road win was at the Lakers, that was a night no one could predict. Portland is just 10-16 on the road overall and prior to the Los Angeles win, it had dropped 12 of its previous 17 road games. The Blazers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* (568) Denver Nuggets |

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Monday Supreme Annihilator. Indiana is coming off a bad loss against New York on Saturday as it fell 92-85 at home as it remains in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Victor Oladipo has been back for two games but he has struggled, making just 4 of 22 shots, including 2 of 11 from beyond the arc. He will get his shot going and we expect that to happen tonight. The Pacers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Dallas is coming off a win over Atlanta at home which snapped a two-game skid. The Mavericks have been solid on the road but since December 22nd, they have just one road win against a team with a winning record. The Mavericks are 2-8-2 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss as a favorite of 10 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 57-25 ATS (69.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (548) Indiana Pacers |

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. The Jazz were one of the hottest teams in the NBA, winning 19 of 21 games from Dec. 11-Jan. 25. Suddenly, they have lost three straight games and have dropped down to fourth place in the Western Conference after occupying the No. 2 spot last week. Utah's slide began with a 126-117 home loss to the Rockets on Monday and continued with defeats in the first two contests of the three-game roadtrip that ends in Portland. The Jazz fell 127-120 to the Spurs on Wednesday and 106-100 to the Nuggets on Thursday. Portland is coming off an emotional win in Los Angeles last night as native Damian Lillard racked up 48 points in a dominating performance. Last night will be hard to come back from despite playing at home but the Blazers are just 12-11 here and are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. 10* (531) Utah Jazz |

The Thunder come into Friday's game having won six consecutive on the road to tie the second-longest streak in Oklahoma City history. The Thunder have won 11 of their last 12 on the road, a dramatic turnaround after losing their first six away from home. The Thunder are 7-0 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a losing home record. Phoenix is coming off a win in its last game, a 133-104 win at Dallas to cap off a 2-1 roadtrip.

This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Wizards are mired in a bit of a slump with consecutive losses and defeats in three of their past four games. All of those games came on the road however where they are 6-20 which is the third worse road record in the NBA. Washington is a much more respectable 9-11 at home where it has covered four of its last five games. Charlotte snapped an eight-game losing streak with a win on Tuesday against the Knicks but that game came at home following a four-day layoff after a trip to France to play Milwaukee. The Hornets have been equally bad wherever they are as they are 8-15 at home and 8-16 on the road. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive road losses.

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Pacers are coming off a successful 3-2 roadtrip but they did lose the last game of the trek by 10 points at Portland. Indiana heads home where it is 17-5 and it will be getting Victor Oladipo back after he has missed more than a calendar year because of a knee injury. Pacers coach Nate McMillan said Wednesday that Oladipo will be on a minutes restriction which comes as no surprise but his presence will still be significant. Chicago has won two straight games but those came against Cleveland and San Antonio and the Bulls are just 2-19 against teams ranked in the top 16 in the league. The Bulls are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win while the Pacers are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (558) Indiana Pacers |

The Heat are now 21-2 at home which is tied with Milwaukee and Philadelphia for the best home record in the NBA. They are tied for second place in the Eastern Conference with Toronto and are sitting a game and a half ahead of Boston. Despite the home record and the better record, Miami is a very small favorite which is a teller. The Heat are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. Boston is coming off a loss at New Orleans on Sunday which snapped a three-game winning streak. Boston is 10-4 ATS as an underdog this season and the Celtics are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games against teams with a winning straight up record. 10* (543) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Dallas is coming off a loss at Utah on Saturday following a 5-1 run. The Mavericks have plenty of impressive road wins -- at Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver among them. But Dallas has struggled late in close games as of the Mavericks 17 losses, 12 have come by five points or fewer or in overtime. That being said, they have much better on the road, going 15-6 and going back, the Mavericks are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite.

This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Los Angeles was coming off a bad loss at Indiana on Wednesday but Kawhi Leonard recorded his first career triple-double Friday in the Clippers 122-117 victory at Miami. It was just the second loss at home all season for the Heat. They are now 13-10 on the road which matches the same record for Orlando at home.

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Oklahoma City is coming off a win last night at home against Atlanta but remains in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference as all eight teams in playoff positions are coming off a win. The Thunder will be seeking a fifth straight road win in a stretch that includes a previous visit to Minnesota. They have also won four straight overall and are catching the majority of the public money in this one yet the line has not moved. Minnesota has dropped eight straight games while failing to cover the last four. This includes a home loss to Houston last night where Russell Westbrook went off for 45 points and 10 assists. Here, we play on home teams after three or more consecutive losses, playing on back-to-back days.

This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Celtics are coming off a 119-95 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, a game in which forward Jayson Tatum exited in the third quarter with a strained right groin. He is listed as questionable for tonight and it will not be surprising to see him sit for precautionary reasons. Boston has won two straight games following a 2-6 stretch that included three road losses to push it to an average 11-9 on the season. The Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win. Orlando is coming off a loss against Oklahoma City on Wednesday which followed up a respectable 3-3 roadtrip.

This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. This line came out late for no apparent reason other than some small injury issues. Orlando is now back home after going 3-3 on its most recent roadtrip that included a win over the Western Conference-leading Lakers. The Magic haven't played at home since January 8th where they are 13-8 on the season including wins in five of their last seven.

01-20-20 | Lakers v. Celtics +3 | Top | 107-139 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Monday Star Attraction. The Celtics have lost six of their last eight, playing most recently Saturday night without guard Kemba Walker and swingman Jaylen Brown. Both are listed as probable tonight however so the full roster will be intact. Boston is 16-5 at home and coming off a pair of losses here will have it highly motivated. The Celtics are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games as a home underdog. The Lakers are coming off a win in Houston on Saturday following a home loss against Orlando. Los Angeles will be getting back Anthony Davis after a five-game absence which is obviously big but they are walking into a tough spot here. The Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning % above .600. 10* (520) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Thunder have dropped two of their last three games after a 7-1 run and better starts are needed. In both losses to the Lakers on Saturday and Wednesday to Toronto, Oklahoma City fell behind big early before scraping its way back into the game before ultimately falling short. The Thunder are 13-8 at home and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Miami is coming off another home win to improve to an NBA best 19-1 at home but this is a different team on the road where it is just 10-11.

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Jazz are riding an NBA best 10-game winning streak but only one of those has come against a team in a current playoff position. While New Orleans is not a playoff team, it has been playing much better of late. Utah has won 15 of its past 16 games after a 118-107 victory at Brooklyn on Tuesday night. The Jazz are 2-0 against New Orleans, the latest victory coming during the recent hot streak and that game was in New Orleans and it resulted in just a two-point win.

They have won nine of 13 and just concluded a 2-1 road trip with a 117-110 overtime win at Detroit on Monday.

01-15-20 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Miami returns home looking to bounce back and to improve upon its 17-1 home record. For the first time this season, the Heat have lost consecutive games. And the concerning theme again are the losses to teams with inferior records as the last two losses came against Brooklyn and New York. Miami is now 10-1 straight up and 8-2-1 ATS following a loss. The Heat are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. San Antonio is coming off a win at Toronto on Sunday and the Spurs have not been good after a victory. They are 5-11 straight up and 3-13 ATS following a win.

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Kings will enter after a 127-106 defeat to the Bucks when they led in the third quarter and held NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo to a season-low 13 points with 10 rebounds. It fell apart quickly for Sacramento but has a great chance tonight to bounce back and build on its 3-2 run over the last five days. Marvin Bagley III is expected back for Monday's game, returning 13.7 ppg and 6.9 rpg to the lineup for the first time since Dec. 26. The Kings are 21-9 ATS in their last 30 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Orlando had a two-game winning streak snapped in Phoenix on Friday but it has covered three straight games. The Magic are just 5-13 on the road and they are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog. 10* (568) Sacramento Kings |

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Phoenix is coming off a win over Orlando on Friday and is 4-3 over its last seven contests following a season-worst eight-game losing streak. But the Suns suffered back-to-back home losses to the Grizzlies and Kings prior to the win over Orlando. Now they come into Sunday favored by their biggest amount all season as they continue to be overpriced in some spots. The Suns are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with a losing road record. Charlotte lost to Utah on Friday 109-92 as the Hornets scored 13 first-quarter points and trailed 61-38 at halftime. They have lost three straight games and nine of their last 11 as they enter the second contest of a four-game road trip. The Hornets are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (555) Charlotte Hornets |

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Dallas got rolled last night as the Lakers went off for 45 points in the first quarter and never looked back. The Mavericks have now lost two straight and three of their last four games but have a favorable matchup tonight. The Sixers are coming off a win over the Celtics on Thursday which was their second straight victory following a four-game losing streak. They paid a price against Oklahoma City however as Joel Embiid suffered a finger injury that will keep him out of action for at least a week. Here, we play against teams revenging a home loss of 10 points or more, off a home win by 10 points or more. This situation is 309-215 ATS (59 percent) since 1996. 10* (538) Dallas Mavericks |
